Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how long-acting rilpivirine functions in real-life clinical settings, addressing gaps left by clinical trials on its pharmacokinetics in people with HIV.
- Researchers analyzed data from 238 patients to establish concentration curves and identify factors influencing drug exposure, finding differences in absorption rates between genders but minimal clinical impact.
- The findings suggest that around 50% of rilpivirine concentrations meet the optimal therapeutic threshold, indicating potential variability in treatment effectiveness among patients.

Background: Engagement with general practice is a requirement of Australia's Primary Health Networks (PHNs). We propose a model for engagement that draws on principles of stakeholder and clinician engagement, tailored to meet the needs of PHNs and general practitioners (GPs).
Methods: A comprehensive literature review was undertaken to identify components, challenges, and approaches to optimizing clinician engagement.
Background: The ultimate goal of advanced procedures in prosthetic dentistry is to construct a prosthesis based on the accurate reproduction of condylar guidance.
Aim: To compare the sagittal condylar inclination obtained using the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), panoramic image, and two articulator systems.
Settings And Design: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 20 dentate patients in the age group of 20-40 years.
